Distortion

Stone Bender MKII

The Stone Bender MKII by ThroBak is a guitar effects pedal designed as a faithful tonal reproduction of the vintage Sola Sound Tone Bender MKII Professional, famously used by Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. The pedal features three carefully selected, matched, and auditioned Germanium Transistors, externally switchable pre-gain control with an internal pot for customizing pre-gain, and a 9-volt power jack. It also includes a true bypass switch, compact pedal design, socketed transistors, and a 5-year limited warranty. ThroBak has added several features to allow users to customize the pedal and create their own signature sound. The pre-gain switch enables it to function as both an overdrive pedal and a high-gain fuzz box, providing endless sustain and usable feedback. Additionally, there is a user-adjustable internal bias pot and a Tone Color switch that reduces the treble edge when activated, reminiscent of the tones from the three-knob Color Sound Tone Bender. The pedal is designed with a powder-coated exterior, Switchcraft Jacks, Teflon wire, silver solder, metal film resistors for low noise and better low-end definition, Mallory M-150 polyester capacitors, and a power LED. It also offers level and attack adjustments, and a 5-year limited warranty. The Stone Bender MKII Pro is known for its versatility, articulate fuzz tones, and high build quality. It has received positive feedback from users for its ability to replicate the classic Tone Bender sound and its touch-sensitive, inspiring playability.

Overdrive and Boost

Overdrive Boost

The ThroBak Overdrive Boost is an improved reproduction of the original Colorsound Power Boost pedal, also known as the Colorsound Overdriver. It was used by renowned musicians such as David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, and Marc Bolin, becoming an integral part of 70s signature tones. The pedal features a vintage silicon transistor circuit known for its ability to bring body, dimension, and tonal flexibility to a single-channel tube amp. Key Features: \- Reproduction of the original Colorsound Power Boost pedal \- Vintage silicon transistor circuit \- Three carefully selected TO-18 metal can Silicon transistors \- Externally switchable pre-gain control with internal pot for customization \- Switchable Germanium transistor and Germanium diode pair \- Bias adjustment for transistors ensuring a perfectly tuned pedal \- Master volume and true bypass footswitch \- Gain, Bass, and Treble adjustment for tonal flexibility \- Flexible and interactive bass and treble controls for added tonal shaping The pedal is designed to provide everything from a substantial and extremely transparent clean boost to all-out silicon fuzz and every tonal variation in- between. Its flexible bass and treble controls can add treble bite and chime to an overly bassy amp or add a meaty low end to a thin-sounding amp. The Overdrive Boost is almost like its own little amp in a box, capable of delivering amazing clean and distorted tones to any tube amp.

Strange Master

The ThroBak Strange Master is a versatile treble booster pedal designed to deliver classic Dallas Rangemaster tones with modern features. Here are the technical specifications and features: \- Treble Boost Knob: Located on the top left side, rotating this knob clockwise increases treble boost and drives the power tubes into distortion. Classic treble boost distortion typically begins at the 1 o’clock setting. \- Treble Boost/Full Range Boost Switch: Positioned on the top right, this switch offers two modes. The left position activates the original treble boost mode, while the right position provides a full range boost with increased bass boost. This allows users to fine-tune the pedal to their guitar amp rig. \- External Bias Adjustment Trim Knob: Also located on the top right, this knob allows users to fine-tune the character of the treble boost. Rotating the knob clockwise tightens the bass response and general character of the boost, while rotating it counterclockwise loosens the character of the distortion. \- Germanium and Silicon Transistors: The pedal includes both Germanium and Silicon transistors, which are switchable using a toggle switch on the top of the unit. The Silicon mode offers higher gain tones with more edge, while the Germanium mode provides lower gain, rounder tones. \- True Bypass Switching: The pedal features true bypass switching for transparent operation when the effect is disengaged. \- Compact Design: The Strange Master features a compact pedal design for easy integration into pedalboards and setups. \- Socketed Germanium Transistor: The Germanium transistor is socketed, allowing for removal and tuning of the pedal. \- Power Options: The pedal can be powered by a standard 9-volt negative center pedal power supply or a 9-volt non-alkaline battery. The use of non- alkaline batteries is recommended for optimal sound and low noise operation. \- Warranty: ThroBak Electronics offers a 5-year limited warranty, covering manufacturing defects. The Strange Master pedal is designed to provide users with a versatile treble booster that can be tailored to their specific guitar and amp rig, offering both classic tones and modern functionality.
